Motorcyclist who proposed on 10 Freeway has yet to turn himself over to authorities

WEST COVINA - Despite a public wedding proposal that stopped traffic on the 10 Freeway and was later posted to YouTube, the man responsible has yet to show his face to the California Highway Patrol.

It has been about five days since the man orchestrated the gridlock inducing wedding proposal where he and more than 100 fellow bikers shut down the 10 Freeway in West Covina.

Since then, he has gained more than fame on the internet and local media attention. California Highway Patrol officials have also been looking for the man, who has yet to turn himself over to authorities despite his own indications he would.

Officials said Friday that the motorcyclist had neither been arrested, nor turned himself in.

The motorcyclists brought all traffic lanes to a halt on Sunday and blocked an offramp for the proposal, as some bikers popped wheelies and turned donuts to celebrate.

CHP offiicials continue to work with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office to determine how to proceed with any potential prosecution.

In addition to numerous traffic violations observed in the YouTube videos, officers are also investigating the incident as conspiracy to commit a crime, which can be prosecuted as a felony.

The CHP and Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office planned to prosecute the case to the "fullest extent" of the law, Stormes added.
